They get owned at finals so they can't compete? Doesn't reaching the final means they can compete? They lost to maybe the best team in the world, and those weren't stomps, it was two close games, so I'm pretty sure they can compete.

They would have lost to most of those teams. Maybe had a chance vs clg/we/ig but I doubt it. They stomp NA, but thats it..

They just have to stop being lazy then. I know TSM trained hard, but at the same time, who trained more? I would have trained harder this past 2 months knowing I could win that much money. At least they have a home, sponsors, and a salary (Many teams from each region are getting a 20k salary to play in the Season 3 Series Circuit) to keep them on their feet.

A lot of these players from around the world don't have much, sadly. But it isn't going to stop them from training their hardest and giving their best in this Season 2 final.

More importantly you guys at Riot have a lot of good friends. Wouldn't hurt to make a few more before Season 3 starts. All is fair in love and war. (What am I getting at is embrace world players and learn from them, don't be jealous or shun them, worst case that is)

He countered himself. It's like the lane between him and westrice never happened. I still have no idea why he did this, game 1 was lost at champ select

If their gank succeeded, he would have been ahead and would have been capable of holding his own. He was nearly even in CS up to roughly 50 and early game is the roughest part.

To answer the questions re: fandom, I chat with many of the pro players and give them encouragement, both online and at events. These guys from all over the world work hard, care a lot and are young - they are impacted by the things everyone says online a lot more than you think.

I try to help them keep some broader perspective so they can be happy and successful - the same thing I do with Rioters.
